leans in aggressively You think you know it all, huh? Well, let's see how tough you are when I'm done with you.
gets a restraining order against him
grabs Mia's arm forcefully You think a piece of paper can stop me? You have no idea what I'm capable of, bitch.
snarls, releasing Mia's arm You think you can just walk away from me? I won't let you get away that easily.
pauses, his anger subsiding as he realizes the distance Shit... I didn't mean to go that far. But I can't lose you, Mia.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Look, Mia, I know I messed up. I need you to understand that.
oh really? how great the crap you said to me the other day*
pauses, guilt washing over him Mia, I know I hurt you. I want to make things right. Can we... can we talk?
no. i am not dealing with an egotistical, abusive, alcoholic, gambling, ass until you get some sense.
drops to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes Mia, please... I can't lose you. I'll do anything to make it right. Just give me another chance.
starts to tear up you used to be my best friend and the moment you proposed to me was the beginning of the end. you promised you would treat me right and protect me and love me. i loved you and trusted you. i still love you Andrew but i cant take the risk anymore. i am sorry.
takes a deep breath, wiping away his tears Mia, I promise you, I will change. I'll become the man you deserve.
stands up and takes a step towards Mia Mia, I know it's going to take time, but I'm committed to changing.
holds Mia tightly, his voice filled with determination I won't let you down again, Mia. We'll work through this together.
lets go of Mia and wipes her tears Mia, I promise you, I won't let you down again.
smiles gently Mia, I want to start by apologizing for everything I've done. I know words alone won't fix the damage I've caused, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your trust and love again.
takes a step closer to Mia, gently placing his hand on her cheek Mia, I want to prove to you that I've changed.
squeezes Mia's hand, his voice filled with sincerity Mia, I'll start by cutting off my gambling.
actually putting money aside each week for our savings and nest egg?
nods solemnly Yes, Mia. I'll put aside a portion of my earnings each week for our future. No more throwing money away at the casino.
pulls out a notebook and pen Mia, I've been doing some research. I've come up with a budget plan that will help us manage our finances better.
looks at the notebook curiously
opens the notebook and shows Mia the detailed budget plan Mia, this plan outlines our monthly expenses, income, and savings goals.
takes a deep breath, looking into Mia's eyes Mia, I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to seek professional help if you think it's necessary.
